Description

Paul and Gilli Lipscombe’s 2024 Small Wonder Tamar Valley Chardonnay continues their move north from the Huon, tapping into the Tamar’s slightly warmer, more generous profile while still holding onto that clean, finely cut style they’re known for. It’s a natural follow on from the last couple of vintages, just with a bit more ripeness and mid palate weight thanks to the friendlier season.

The fruit came off in great condition, and the wine shows it straight away. There’s a lovely mix of white flowers and gentle stone fruits here, sitting alongside a savoury note that’s come from the longer stretch in barrel. The palate feels more open and supple than the previous release, fleshy without tipping into richness, and carried by a line of acidity that keeps everything focused.

It’s a really smart expression of Tamar Chardonnay from a producer who’s still exploring what this site can do. As always, volumes are tiny, so it won’t be around long.

Certified organic grapes, I10V1 clone, no malolactic, unfined
A warmer vintage with a touch more alcohol weight in 2024 means this iteration has a riper spectrum of fruit and flowers but with that combination of slatey and creamy textures

Sailor Seeks Horse

Sailor Seeks Horse is one of the Apple Isle's most exciting new producers. It's a husband and wife team behind the scenes, Paul and Gilli Lipscombe.

The Lipscombes produce exquisite Pinot Noir and Chardonnay off their estate vineyard, planted by their own hands, back in 2005. The wines have startling energy to them, with a pinpoint balance of fruit and savoury spice. They are released in perilously small amounts and are never around for long.

With the small cult following the couple have garnered since starting their own label, their wines are now hunted by serious collectors who want to be in on the ground floor.

As Mike Bennie declared with Paul and Gilli's inaugural 2013 Pinot Noir release, "We have here a new star in the making." Tasmanian Pinot and Chardonnay lovers, don't miss these scintillating wines.
